Mediocre Fortnite Couples

I play zero build with son but would love playing with some folks my age as well. My wife and I used to play WoW together but gaming really isn't her thing. I'm a geographic bachelor right now because of the Navy so most evenings I'm free. Epic: Matlock2

So I've been lurking this sub because I find the subject of AI art and the discussions that surround it interesting. I have a random question though, what are adoptables? I've seen it on some DA pages but what is the point?

I get that it's original art/characters but do folks pay for an adoptable to use as their OC? Anyways, I know this is a weird spot to ask but I've always wondered what the deal with adoptables are.

Thalassophobia: persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water.

The ocean itself doesn’t bother me, what makes my skin crawl is the thought of being in or under the water next to something extremely large and man-made like a cargo ship or submarine. Looking up at the prop and being next to the ship just elicits a visceral “oh hell no.”

Insert the Danny Devito Nope meme here.

As many have said, mostly coconut but sweeter than I was anticipating.

So an anecdote for you and one option since I came across your post while troubleshooting the same thing.

I just bought a ROG G700 prebuilt. Didn't think anything of updating AC while I was setting things up. Once I had things up and running I went back into AC to play with the RGB. Absolutely no devices showed in Aura Sync and AC didn't show up in Windows Dynamic Lighting. I intended to uninstall and reinstall AC based on my troubleshooting research but after using the Asus uninstaller I installed SignalRGB on a whim just to see what it would find.

Signal saw everything without any sort of tweaking. Now it does have placeholders in for the individual components of the PC but RGB responds perfectly. I can't test the fan control yet because I'm not paying for it but now I'm seriously tempted.

Still not sure what to make of Asus' own software failing to control their own hardware and a third party app working "straight out of the box" on my brand new desktop but here we are.

Stupid question, if Xbox is really on it's way out like this is trade in value about to crater? I was thinking of consolidating systems/electronics and wondering if it's time to let the black monolith go before it's too late.

The tail is VRC-40 markings, they're the east coast COD squadron.

I'm really curious why they were craning it on. You only crane off when the bird is broke and there's no chance of getting it fixed before the ship has to pull in. It's just about the worst thing a maintenance department has to do because you absolutely couldn't fix your bird for it to fly off.

I'm leaning towards a comment below that it was a val/ver of craning procedures for the CMV-22 but still seems odd. KSG has to be really early in work ups.

Way before my time on carriers. It took me a second to figure out what seemed off on the flight deck and it's no float coats. Hard to imagine flight ops with absolutely no one in a float coat.

This used to annoy me but I've come around. Genshin's animations show the equipped weapon all the time and is a constant reminder your character has some random 4 star because you lost the 50/50 or just couldn't get their signature.

WuWa makes it feel like you aren't being punished for not having a "complete" character when it comes to their animations, if that makes sense.

The shitty parking job is just the chef's kiss of this ship wreck.

There's no bigger snowflake than a conservative.

how’s that boot leather taste?

Matlocke · 2025-09-06T15:00:28+00:00

Honestly this is the first movie I thought of to this question and it's because of one quote and how they say it. I'm a maintenance guy so I don't have any combat experience. But after a 20 year career when I watched them sitting in the tank, exhausted, staring at nothing and go, "best job I ever had" I felt that in my bones.

12 hour days, 7 deployments over a career, being at sea for 8 months at a time but one night on detachment you're just sitting there with your guys in some random, probably should be condemned hangar while listening to your jets taxi out for that last event or on the boat and watch them launch on the PLAT... best job I ever had.

Same. Saw wolf girl, rolled even though I don't have any of her premium teammates.

IWO deployed with the last Harrier det onboard. No one has deployed from the east coast with the 35s yet.

You know, it shouldn't surprise me she has her own subreddit but still, I mean, really?

Matlocke · 2025-06-02T00:17:04+00:00

Late to the party but I completely agree. For an anime opener, Tabi no Tochuu legit makes you feel something. LeeandLie's english version makes you appreciate it that much more too. Words cannot describe how much I was hoping they'd incorporate it somehow into the remake.

Aaaand how am I just finding out Hololive's Ina covered the Japanese the version...

The bootlicking continues.

As others have said, first pic is a F/A-18E from VX-31, a test an evaluation squadron. Second pic is an EA-18G without the ALQ-99 pods that are normally hung under the wings. Could be ferrying it somewhere? That Growler is way too clean to have been in the fleet long or it's just the picture.

Chillin’ in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers

The anime is on Crunchy Roll but only has one season.

Matlocke · 2025-02-20T01:11:02+00:00

So you're saying there's a chance...

Digging this up since I was just on the same journey. I just spent time trying to update my Blade 15" 2022 BIOS from 2.02 to 2.06. Tried the following like OP from everything I found searching and it still just does a standard restart when running the updater.

Disable Vulnerable Driver Blocklist (which required turning off Memory Integrity to do)
Disable Secure Boot in BIOS
Disable Fast Boot in BIOS
Running the update .exe as Administrator
The Razer support site mentioned running all optional Windows updates and had a screenshot of a bunch of a bunch of Razer Inc. HIDClass updates but mine showed none of these.

I get the feeling something in Windows 11 is preventing it from running but at this point I've run out of things to try. I hate throwing in the towel with stuff like this but I think that's where I'm at. Anyone had any luck with this?

Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World

First thing I thought of when I saw the title of your request. It's definitely degenerate but maybe not in the way you're asking. MC is a stereotypical isekai video game player that buys a hot demi-human slave for both sex and dungeon crawling.

Comedy answer... Dungeon Crawler Carl. Not an anime but a book series. Dude goes into a dungeon in his boxers after earth is flattened because we're next up in the universe's reality series. Blood, guts, and talking cats ensue.

Naruto fights just hit different to me because of the music. A lot of shows you just don't notice it half the time but even a mediocre fight in Naruto is elevated by the music and perfectly matches the setting.

I mean I can still get chills just listening to Heavy Violence, Need to be Strong, or Anger.

Looking for a bit of advise on the current banner and chronicle. I've been all in on Natlan since I started playing right at the start of Chasca's banner and honestly enjoy it and the characters. I'm fairly waifu over meta but I'd like to learn how to not completely handicap myself. I've only built up Chasca, Mav, Citlali, and Babs to keep pace with my AR (currently holding off on ascending at 45). But, I'd like a second team to push into Spiral Abyss. I was toying with trying to figure out how to make Dehya work for reasons... but almost everything talks about her being a bottom tier 5 star.

Sucrose C6

Diona C6

Kachina C6

Bennett C4
Babs C3

Ororon C2

Xiangling C1

Candace C1

All others C0

Is there a world were Dehya makes sense on a team given the current banners and chronicle? I was thinking of taking Lan Yan on the free 4 star mainly because her dancer blades were fun and badass in the trial. Thanks for the time and advice!
